John Mayer - Daughters Lyrics






I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the God and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

    A guy from our school sung this song. Didn't expect it to be this good.

  2. O.... ....

    Ok, are we not going to talk about the problematic lyrics saying it’s ok to “break” boys because they’re strong and will soldier on? How about we don’t break *any* children? Both boys and girls should be given love and support to become well adjusted healthy adults.

    OrangeFluffyCat John Mayer from back in the 2000’s is CANCELLED!! ...lol

  24. c.... f....

    I’m saddened to say that I’m here from Get Hard😭 I wish I knew this song before

  25. S.... C....

    Song came out when I was a kid. Didn’t really understand the gravity of the lyrics. Now that I’m in a relationship and grown into an adult I do. The shit your parents did in your childhood really does come out in your relationships.

  26. T.... S....

    Still amazing in 2020

  27. E.... M....

    if you fools want an actually good father-daughter song, listen to Lenny kravitz or Eminem, they got way better, and forget this hot garbage song. sorry not sorry

  28. C.... C....

    Hi crush 😁❤️ when I'm in college 😘

  29. K.... A....

    Great song!!!😃....Fathers be good to ur daughters..And Moms Too!!!We follow in our parents lead!!!🤗😍😎

  32. B.... L....

    I found this song off of "Get Hard" 🥰🤪😭😌

  33. C.... D....

    What a perfect song.

  34. M.... S....

    I heard this on the night I brought my newborn daughter home from the hospital. I cried like a baby... Her birthday is 01/11 .. She's 7.. And i always play this song every year on this day.. And the tears flow.. Smh y'all be good

    M.... S....

    I'd be honored if some old-school John Mayer fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his early masterpieces CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and Happy '020s to all.

  41. r.... h....

    Thank you John. Beautiful. Makes a Dad teary eyed.

  83. A.... P....

    Gemma Ward and John Mayer are a great team when they both participate in the music video that's shot in both black and white and color. Please note that it's a split screen which is the type of format used in regards to 15 years ago when it was in production by the record companies. It isn't easy being a parent these days. 👍🏻 if you agree and enjoy nurturing children very much.

  84. T.... W....

    We are daughters and sisters! My family listens to this all the time. We love you John Mayer. When I grow up I want to be a guitar player like you. Want to hear me?
